Is it something you installed on purpose? It sounds like on of those porn dialers.

Ah ha! <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,86524,00.asp" target="_blank">http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,86524,00.asp</a>

ActiveX....

Read this page on how to get rid of it.

thanks for your help.....that web page helped me get rid of the problem. I did exactly what the web page said, but the program kept appearing after every boot. Then I searched for all files that were created/modified that same date and hour. I found a file that wasn't being deleted by the uninstall program. I went to startup in the system configuration and sure enough ... it was there under System Task. All I did then was uncheck this particular box and that was the end of that. I opted to delete the file too. The name of the file was c:\mt.exe. Thanks :cool:
